SNA Course Approvals

SNA offers Continuing Education Unit (CEU) and Core Course approval guidelines for school nutrition education and training programs. SNA’s approval of education and training programs allows training providers to help SNA members across the country satisfy the initial requirements for the Certificate in School Nutrition Program, Certificate Program maintenance and SNS Credentialing.

Content Development Guidelines

The SNA Training Content Development Guidelines are a resource for you to utilize as you create continuing education training materials. Please review this brief document and utilize the principles described as a basis for your training.

We encourage you to review all materials before beginning your submission.

Core Course Approval Program Requirements

All Core Courses must be approved by SNA Headquarters. Core Courses are workshops, seminars or online courses that are:

Conferences: If your CEU request is for a conference or multiday meeting please download and complete the Conference CEUs Approval Request Form. This form should be submitted with the application and required materials for CEU consideration.

Renewing CEU Approvals

Approved CEU’s are valid for three years from the date of approval. If you intend to continue to offer the CEU’s after the expiration date you must submit a renewal application along with the processing fee four weeks before the expiration date.

Change in Content

SNA requires notification of any change of information in approved materials. This notification should be provided to SNA in writing at education@schoolnutrition.org. Change in content that is greater than 25% requires that you resubmit the application and required materials.
